The above befell Peter and Mercy on Sat. Aug 14, 2010 at the Assemblies of God Church, Ojodu Berger, Ikeja, Lagos. And the reason was that the bride was suspected to be pregnant.
Which perhaps explains why in spite of having undergone a pregnancy test prior to that day, the lady was again whisked away from the church after the wedding was called off to undergo yet another pregnancy test. But this time in a different hospital. The wedding guests were asked to go home.
The bride was said to be devastated and embarrassed and the couple started trading blame as to what prompted their choosing the church in the first place. The bulk of the blame, however, was later heaped at the doorstep of the grooms mother who worships there. It was also gathered that what further ruined their day was the fact that the pastor who had earlier given them the go-ahead for the wedding was not present when the wedding was supposed to take place, as it was a new pastor that came to officiate the wedding.
